Description

The world of pets is saturated with fluffy, plump, over worked imagery which mostly is a mashup of Hello Kitty, Miffy, Teletubbies, Hairy Maclary, tissue box graphics, the Boxing Kangaroo to friendly technical drawing.

Janine and Jason, the owners of The Pet Grocer, a pet product stall in the South Melbourne Market complex, approached Work Art Life seeking an alternative to pet cute; an image and brand reflecting pets and owners that live diverse and individual lives.
